Mayuri's card from Naruto

Chapter 99 Mission
Dark, evil, powerful.

Even in death, one could feel the incomparable power from his corpse!

It's like another zero tail!
Another source of darkness that gathers the dark side of all beings.

Even in Shennong's perception, the power remaining on the corpse in front of him was of higher quality than the dark chakra gathered by Zero Tail!

Standing in front of the corpse, Shennong could feel his soul trembling. Even though the other party was lying there without a sound, the mere presence of the corpse made him feel extremely oppressed.

It was a feeling of oppression from the deepest part of my heart, facing my soul. Standing in front of the corpse was like an ant looking up at the corpse of a giant beast.

What an unexpected surprise!
Shennong was extremely satisfied with this unexpected surprise. He even wanted to temporarily abandon his plan and return to his base camp with this strange corpse.

After all, he had been out for a long time this time, and his real plan and purpose had almost been achieved. It was time for him to leave with the kidnapped people.

Shennong began to write sealing runes one by one. If no measures were taken, some ninjas with keen perception would still be able to discover the abnormality of the corpse.

At the very least, his overflowing power must be restrained and contained, and then sealed together with his body.

After the room was filled with sealing runes, Shennong began to make seals, shrinking the runes and pressing them into the body.

When the last sealing rune disappeared from the corpse, the strange feeling of oppression dissipated, and the horror that made him feel depressed and trembling was no longer there.

Boom boom boom!
There was a knock on the door, and a strange ninja wearing a black robe and a Rain Village forehead protector stood respectfully outside. Behind him were several frightened villagers and a familiar white-haired sturdy ninja.

"Jiraiya?" Shennong's heart was shocked when he saw the white-haired ninja for the first time.

"Have we met before?" Ziyela was stunned, slightly dazed by Shennong's face that looked gentle and friendly.

From the first glance, Shennong has a temperament unique to a medical ninja, which is more or less present in Tsunade and the medical ninjas working in the Konoha Medical Department.

What Shennong brings to people is a feeling of compassion and tenderness. In short, the first impression of Shennong is not bad.

"I heard Tsunade and Orochimaru talk about you." Shennong opened the door and first comforted the panicked villagers outside the door and asked them to go back to the house. At the same time, he let Jiraiya and the ninja wearing the Rain Village forehead protector into the house.

"So you have met Tsunade and Orochimaru." Jiraiya nodded slowly. He sensitively noticed that some familiar power was rapidly spreading in the house. It was obvious that before they arrived, this Shennong was studying something.

"I met Princess Tsunade by chance and discussed some medical ninjutsu with her. Orochimaru discussed some issues related to body modification with me." Shennong replied calmly.

Having said that, Shennong took over the initiative without waiting for Jiraiya to ask again, and shifted the topic from himself to Jiraiya.

"Why do you, one of the three ninjas, come here so late at night? I see that you are not injured."

"It's not because of me. I'm here to invite you on behalf of Akatsuki." Jiraiya waved his hand and did not tell the prophecy. Instead, he found a plausible excuse.

In fact, this excuse was true. Yahiko and his team really wanted to recruit Shennong, even if it was only temporarily. Jiraiya wanted to take this opportunity to get in touch with him more and see if he was the medical ninja related to the prophecy.

"Was the Akatsuki organization cultivated by Konoha?" Shennong looked at the Rain Ninja beside him, then looked at Jiraiya, and a look of realization appeared on his face.

During the time in the Rain Country, he also heard about the existence of the Akatsuki organization, and knew that one of the most notable features of the Rain Ninjas in this organization, in addition to wearing the Rain Village amulet, was the black robes they wore.

Seeing Jiraiya standing up for Akatsuki, Shennong instantly had a lot of associations.

"No, no, no! Akatsuki has nothing to do with Konoha! It's just that Konoha has a business to do with them." Jiraiya said, and seeing the suspicion that was still difficult to hide in Shennong's eyes, he sighed resignedly.

“I have some relationship with the founder of Akatsuki. I taught three children here before, and then they established Akatsuki when they grew up.

I only found out about this recently. But Konoha does have a business deal with them."

Jiraiya told everyone the existence of the healing charm. This was not confidential information that needed to be kept secret, so Jiraiya felt no burden in telling it.

Shennong took the healing talisman handed over by Jiraiya, examined it carefully and experienced it, then nodded in admiration.

As a medical ninja, Shennong was well aware of the value of healing talismans. He didn't expect to have such good luck today. First, he found a powerful and strange corpse with extremely high research value, and then a healing talisman was delivered to his door.

He planned to accept Jiraiya's invitation to teach Xiaonan medical ninjutsu for a period of time. During this period, he should have a good chance to get in touch with the secrets of making healing talismans.

Even if it was only a part of it, it would be enough for him to reverse engineer something and improve the medical charm with similar effects. After all, what limits most people is creativity and ideas. Once a certain creativity and idea is successfully realized, similar competing products will inevitably appear over time.

His subsequent research and plans also require a lot of money and resources! And the healing talisman can obviously quickly accumulate wealth for him.

When it comes to stealing intelligence and getting what he wants, Shennong is as confident as he is in his medical ninjutsu.

After all, just in Konoha, he had acquired two S-level forbidden techniques.

Zero Tail Technique and Eight Gates Ninjutsu!
After discussing medical ninjutsu with Tsunade, Shennong has begun to research his own forbidden medical techniques.

……

Hidden Leaf Village.

Technology Development Department.

"The experimental subject disappeared?"

After feeling that the Third Raikage's trace could no longer be sensed after he became hollow, Lu Nie speculated that the Third Raikage had either entered some strange space, similar to Obito's Kamui space in the future, or the one in the Three Holy Lands.

Either the Third Raikage fell into the hands of a certain ninja or a ninja organization and was sealed up with a sealing technique.

He now somewhat understood why Orochimaru would go around the ninja world recruiting talented children.

It can be used as a backup for reincarnation, or as a subordinate to do things.

It seems that the only two people under Kane who can really do the dirty work and are valuable are Kakuzu and half of Libra Jūgo.

He sent Kakuzu to manage the account books and collect debts, but Libra Jūgo's physique was not easy to control, so he could only be counted as half.

Do you want to create one or more helpers like clones?
Lu Nie's thoughts were getting stronger and stronger. His main body needed to conduct various experiments when he had no missions, but he also needed to go out of the village occasionally to conduct some actions that were not so convenient for people to know. If a trustworthy person was outside, it would obviously be able to bring back a rare material such as the Third Raikage as soon as possible.

After all, this is the only Cursed Void experimental subject that has not been completely devoured by the mask and is still undergoing a deep transformation.

The Third Raikage's strength, will, soul, and body obviously withstood the erosion of the Cursed Seal and achieved a certain balance with it.

As long as this balance is not disrupted, the soul fighting and devouring inside the mask will eventually end as time goes by. The final winner will merge with the body eroded by the cursed void again and become a new individual.

What Lu Nie is worried about is that someone will disrupt this evolution and stop it.

Although the Curse of the Void has begun to be upgraded and the first generation of the Curse is on the verge of being eliminated, it is still a product with hope of success.

Its status data is still very valuable to Lunie!

The land of rain?

Thinking about the direction sensed by the Cursed Hollow Mask, which was similar to the position he had on Kakuzu, Lu Ne made this judgment.

……

The Akatsuki organization's base is in a mountain outside the Rain Village. They used ninjutsu to hollow out the mountain as a residence for the Akatsuki members and their families.

In the room where Kakuzu was resting, a small black snake crawled out from a dark corner, and its little head swayed left and right in front of Kakuzu who was calculating accounts. Until it attracted Kakuzu's attention, it opened its mouth, split its upper and lower jaws as wide as possible, and spit out a scroll from the space in its slender abdomen.

After doing all this, it coiled up its body, sat quietly on the table, and looked at Kakuzu quietly.

asshole!

Seeing the little snake's lively eyes, Kakuzu cursed it in annoyance for interrupting him from counting money.

Since he came, Yahiko and the others almost freely handed over all the financial power to Kakuzu. The impatience of meeting him too late made Kakuzu a little dazed for a moment.

I originally thought that Akatsuki had a lot of money to manage, but after taking over the finances, I discovered that this organization was terribly poor.

Not only did Kakuzu have no money, but he had to rack his brains every day to think about how to save money for the organization and buy the most needed supplies with the least amount of money.

To put it bluntly, Kakuzu was already shocked that this organization had not yet disbanded due to lack of money.

Especially the founder Yahiko, whose behavior of bleeding to provide food for the surrounding Rain Country people even though he could barely afford to eat made Kakuzu feel his blood pressure rise.

Yahiko and the people of Akatsuki recognized Kakuzu's accounting ability, but they felt painful about taking money from Kakuzu.

Kakuzu did not approve of their actions and thought it was a waste of money and food on these doomed and worthless people.

Because of this expenditure, Kakuzu, Yahiko and the other two had quarrels more than once, but in the end, the winner was still Yahiko who was desperate and insisted on his own opinion.

I can't give up on them! If the Akatsuki organization can't even protect those around them and let them live in peace, then the idea of ​​hoping for peace in the ninja world is just a joke!
Faced with Yahiko's decisive words, Kakuzu could only respond: I'm just a temporary accountant, you are the leader, and since you have made up your mind, it's up to you.

Of course, it is hard to say how much weight Jiraiya, who was standing behind Yahiko and the other two with a look of approval and a silly smile on his face, played in Kakuzu's concession.

Instead of racking his brains, thinking about how to buy more supplies with one cent and how to spend money more cost-effectively, which is almost a mentally torturous task, Kakuzu would rather resume his identity as a bounty ninja, harvest a few unlucky targets to vent his anger, and then take their heads to the black market to exchange for money.

He now doesn't want to have any contact with Yahiko at all, because his existence is in huge conflict with his own philosophy of survival.

"The whereabouts of the Third Raikage's body?"

After reading the information on the scroll, Jiaodu destroyed the scroll.

"You want me to do something, but it costs money!" After Kakuzu finished cleaning the scrolls, his eyes fell on the small black snake coiled on the table.

The little black snake seemed to understand Kakuzu's words. It swung its tail quickly and wrote a number on the table with chakra. After writing, it swung its tail again and drew a horizontal line in the middle of the number.

"Deduct 3000 million taels of debt? I'll take this task!"

Kakuzu also skillfully understood what the black snake wanted to convey from its behavior. Thirty million taels was indeed worth a try.

Anyway, we are just looking for the whereabouts of the Third Raikage's body. And according to the information revealed in the scroll, the Third Raikage's body is in the hands of a ninja who knows how to seal in the Rain Country, or in the hands of a ninja organization.

What ninja organizations are there in the Rain Country?
The Rain Village, the Akatsuki organization, and the renegade ninjas who wandered here or rebelled against the village.

"What kind of help does his scroll mention?" Kakuzu asked after indicating that he had accepted the mission.

The little black snake's body swam on the table, and its mouth split open again. This time, the upper and lower jaws were torn to almost half the size of its body.

A white bone mask was spit out from the little snake's split mouth and fell onto the table.

A strange power has been spreading around since the mask appeared. Kakuzu felt that his mind had become inexplicably heavy, but soon, the effect disappeared so quickly that it made people doubt whether the previous feeling was an illusion.

"Can this mask lead me to find the body of the Third Raikage?" Kakuzu asked, suppressing the discomfort in his soul, taking the mask in his hand, flipping it over twice.

The little snake nodded repeatedly under Kakuzu's gaze, and its little head almost left an afterimage in the air.

Kakuzu suppressed his palpitations and, as the scroll instructed, channeled chakra containing his spiritual consciousness into the mask, closing his eyes and sensing it carefully.

Got nothing.

It doesn't seem to be nearby.

Kakuzu opened his eyes and thought for a moment. The tentacles transformed from the Earth Grudge shot out from his shoulders, tied up the mask and pulled it into his skin. A vague face appeared on Kakuzu's right arm.

As long as the distance to the target is close enough, it will automatically alert the wearer.
